Big data and human height: Scientists develop algorithm to boost biobank data retrieval and analysis

Extracting and analyzing relevant medical information from large-scale databases such as biobanks poses considerable challenges. To exploit such "big data," attempts have focused on large sampling ...

AI algorithm enables tracking of brainstem's vital white matter pathways

The signals that drive many of the brain and body's most essential functions—consciousness, sleep, breathing, heart rate and motion—course through bundles of "white matter" fibers in the brainstem, ...
